Diet and Exercise Often Fall Short

Diet and exercise are crucial components of weight management, but they often fall short when it comes to sustained weight loss. Traditional weight loss plans can fail in the long run because they might not address the underlying issues that contribute to weight gain, such as persistent hunger and emotional eating. As a result, many individuals struggle to maintain their weight loss over time. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we offer advanced solutions like Tirzepatide and Semaglutide to complement your efforts and support lasting results.

We Prescribe the Following Weight Loss Medications

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, a class of medication that mimics the action of the hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). GLP-1 is naturally produced in the intestines and plays a critical role in regulating blood sugar levels, slowing gastric emptying, and promoting feelings of fullness. By stimulating GLP-1 receptors, Semaglutide helps reduce appetite and caloric intake, making it easier to adhere to a reduced-calorie diet.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and GLP-1 receptor agonist, offering a novel approach to weight loss. This medication simultaneously activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, enhancing the body’s natural response to food intake. GIP helps regulate fat metabolism and energy storage, while GLP-1 controls appetite. The dual action of Tirzepatide reduces hunger and improves the body’s ability to manage glucose.
